Interesting. So if my bike tire is at 10 lbs, is that 10 above atmosphere or just 10psi? I think a balloon flubbering arround for 4 seconds then going flat at the office would still be considered a scene. In fact I think your depiction is perfect. Ha.
Bike tires are typically inflated to a psi (lbs per square inch). A bike tire is a bad example in this context because most are filled pretty high (80-130psi, mine are 90psi). The average car tire is 30-40psi.
I run my dirt bikes trials tire at about 10 psi rear, and 14 front. Mountain bike tubeless 14-25 psi.
So I guess my question was, is a guage measurement above atmospheric pressure? The answer is yes. [0]
"Gauge Pressure:
The pressure of a system above atmospheric pressure."
